The risk level of COVID-19 has bounced between low and medium for the past month, as Chicago health officials warn of an imminent surge of COVID-19 as the cold weather forces people indoors and holiday gatherings take place.
The threat of COVID-19 rose across Chicago and Cook County in the past week, as federal officials moved the warning level to “medium” after just one week at “low,” according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.The risk level of COVID-19 has bounced between low and medium for much of the past month, as Chicago health officials warn of an imminent surge of COVID-19 as cold weather settles over Chicago forcing people indoors and holiday gatherings take place.
All Chicagoans eligible for a COVID-19 booster designed to fight the omicron variant of the virus and a flu vaccine should be inoculated as soon as possible, said Dr. Allison Arwady, the commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health. Cook County now has 115 confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents, a slight increase from last week. In addition, hospitalizations ticked up across the Chicagoland region prompting federal officials to reduce the risk level, according to CDC data.
Residents of regions face a low risk of COVID-19 if there is a case rate of less than 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents and fewer than 10 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents.
